Vulnerability Scenario
: A Smartphone
A local attacker can access and control the smart phone or read personal data from it. This vulnerability is primarily known as CVE-2022-41592, but is also known as “Device Administrator Access”.
This allows the attacker to run apps even when the user has denied them permission to run them on their device. This could be used for malware, remote access, and other malicious applications that might not be noticed by the user.
There are three different ways for a local attacker to gain access:
1) By using social engineering techniques to trick someone into giving up their password
2) By using a remote exploit of an application running on the device
3) By gaining physical access to the victim’s device
Smartphone Overview
The overall purpose of a smartphone is to provide a way for people to communicate, share information, and access the internet. In order to accomplish these goals, smartphones have many features that make them so convenient. They can take pictures, use GPS tracking systems in order to keep up with your location, and even allow you to watch movies and TV shows on the go. Smartphones also have some security measures but they are not foolproof. If a person has physical access to your smartphone or it's paired with their device, then they may be able to gain control of it for malicious purposes.
